Then, I guess I'm an un-"professionall".  Kill them trees for me, I say.
I currently have a foot and a half high stack of manuals beside my desk
that I've been referencing quite regulary.  Trying to fit a full page of
any PDF documentation on a laptop makes its print too small to be easily
read.  Fine scrolling, when the manual is several hundred pages, is also
a PITA!

BTW, a "professionall" would know how to spell professional or would look
it up in a dictionary -- whether that be on-line or otherwise.  You must
be using Micro$oft Mi$$pell Unchecker.
